The last couple of years that they were open, if you had the money, you could get into the college. Things went downhill pretty quickly and probably why most people think about Belknap College and hippies.
I lived at the White Diamond Motel and also, if anyone remembers, the Black Diamond which was across the street. Lakeshore Drive became a pretty wild and crazy place in the 70s. LSD, what is a fitting nickname for this road. I am sure many landlords were pretty disgusted after their students moved out.

Black Diamond!! In the summer of 1971 I Lived there with four roommates. After we moved out in the fall the owner Mark Packard had the fire department burn it down in a training exercise. Might have been because he wanted to build his new house on the site or "Maybe" as you suggest, he didn't care for our housekeeping.
Re: Paul Costley the first restaurant he owned in the area was called "The Beggars Banquet." It was in the building where Elvios Pizza is. He later had a restaurant on LSD called Cavaliers Cove. At different times I tended bar in both of them.
